Check out new school
During Black History Month, much attention is focused on the history and culture of Blacks in the Diaspora as a way of learning and sharing, connecting and re-connecting, educating and re-educating - especially our youth - in an effort to fill gaps in our knowledge of our rich and diverse history.
One of the reasons this is important is that, for most of us, information on the history, culture and accomplishments of Black people has been absent from the curriculum in our schools.
